If you've always wanted to buy a robot vacuum now is the time. CNET's top-rated models will be on sale during Black Friday and Cyber Monday with discounts as high as 57%.

The Roborock Q7 Max is a powerful robot that has smart mapping and app-based no go zones. Its run time of 180 minutes is impressive. It also self-empties and refills its water tank.

1. iRobot Roomba j7+

The Roomba j7+ is iRobot's most advanced robot vacuum to date. Its most significant innovation is a camera-based obstacle detection system that uses built-in AI to detect objects like charging cords, shoes, and the dreaded pet waste that many other robots are unable to avoid (and often slough through). It's the first robot to send you pictures of the objects that it encounters, so that you can tell the robot to stay clear of it.

The Combo j7+ is also the best robot to mop we've ever tested, picking up dirt and spills with ease while leaving no trace it was there. It's simple to control via the iRobot Home app which allows you to schedule cleaning times and set up Keep Out Zones to ensure it doesn't vacuum areas you don't want it to. It's compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can start it and stop it by voice.

The design is also more appealing than the competition. It features an elegant, top piece that resembles a toy rather than a loud and obnoxious robot. The Clean Base automatic vacuum Dirt Disposal System self-empties which is great to speed up cleaning.

In our tests, the j7+ was quick to pick up and remove dust dirt, pet hair and even pet hair. The rubber brushes that counter-rotate kept the debris in its place instead of scattering it across the floor. It was able capture small gravel, sand and even a tiny bit of grit. Most robots could not accomplish this feat. It did all this without getting tangled in our pet's hair.

Although it's not as smart as the $1,217 Roomba s9+ Self-Emptying Vacuum, and it's not able to clean stairs, the J7+ is an excellent option for those who need mopping and a vacuum in their home. It's not expensive and the iRobot App makes it simple to use.

The iRobot Home App is easy to use but we found it less reliable than other robotic cleaner apps. It can take some time to download updates, and it's sometimes difficult to know if they are working until you see them in action.

2. Roborock Q5+

If you want a robot vacuum cleaner that can do more than just clean your floors A hybrid is the best option. This kind of robot vacuum cleaner Ebay (bbsapp.Org) usually comes with a built-in tank for water, meaning they can both vacuum and mop your house at the same time. These bots also have a variety of extra features such as smart mapping and small object avoidance and the possibility of washing and re-drying mopping pads. The disadvantage is that they tend to be pricey at full retail, but during Black Friday and Cyber Monday they often drop in price.

Roborock makes some of our favorite robotic vacuum cleaner commercial vacuums, and the Q5+ doesn't fail to impress. This is the least expensive model in their auto-empty line. While it may not come with some of the expensive features (like no-go zones and multi-story memories) however, it's a great choice if you are willing to make some compromises to save a few dollars.

The Q5+ is extremely soft when it comes to obstacles like table legs and walls. This makes it a great choice for homes that have many furniture pieces. It's also very thorough in cleaning dust bunnies. This is a place where most robot vacuums of lower quality do not excel in. The Q5+'s navigation system is superb, with only a few mishaps on walls and corners.

Like other Roborock devices like the Q5+, the Q5+ can be controlled by the buttons on the device itself or through the Roborock app. The app lets you start and stop cleanings. You can also set schedules, design virtual barrier and no-go areas, adjust your home map, or re-label the rooms.

If you select the Q5+ it includes a new auto-emptying dock, designed to make the robot easier to maintain. Installing it requires a screwdriver, however, once it's in place emptying the bin can be accomplished with relative ease. It also comes with an impressive LCD display, which is nice to have when you're creating schedules or changing settings. This feature isn't essential for everyone, but it can help you easily keep track of the self-cleaning robot vacuums's maintenance schedules.

3. Narwal Freo X Ultra

The Freo X Ultra is a well-rounded robot mop and vacuum that's incredibly clever in its mopping and vacuuming capabilities. Its design is among the top in the market, but it's expensive.

The base station is attractive and hides it when not in use, and its size is relatively compact. But the station's main selling factor is its ability to automate many tasks and functions that other robots leave to you. It can store clean and dirty water, and then electrolyze and heat the water. Many other robots require you to do this.

Its vacuuming capabilities are also impressive. It's the only robovac that I've tried that does well at picking up the dust from floors with no. And it's not as loud as the more expensive Roomba 900 series or iRobot 980.

However, the Freo X Ultra has its faults, especially in terms of navigation. The laser and LiDAR sensors aren't as reliable as some other robovacs, meaning it can get stuck or confused in certain areas of your home. It's not able to navigate stairs as well as competitors, either, and it doesn't have a dock that lets the user to set up an area for cleaning that is specifically designed for carpets with plush padding.

Although it doesn't have the same amount of cleaning-related options in its app or as many shortcuts in the app like other robovacs the Freo X Ultra is still a top choice for those seeking a great all-round mop and vacuum cleaner that's worth the price tag.

If you're looking to save some cash, or just don't care about the limitations of this machine There are many other options on the market which include a variety of eufy models priced significantly less. The Eufy Qrevo curv, for example is less expensive and has many more features, like the ability to climb stairs and a full-function Dock, with the ability to provide a more thorough vacuuming experience on bare floors carpets with low pile as well as high-pile carpets.

4. eufy RoboVac G30

Eufy, a Anker company has a proven track record of producing robot vacuums that strike a good balance between performance, features and price. The G30 Hybrid is no different, offering a capable cleaning on hard floors and mopping functions as well as carpets at a price that is affordable. It's easy to set up by snapping one of the side brushes on, switch it on and plug in the charging dock. The app will guide you through the steps to connect your G30 to your Wi-Fi. It is recommended to keep the dock close to an electrical outlet and ample space for it to move, however.

The G30 is small, 2.85 inches tall to be exact It can be tucked away under couches and other furniture with a low clearance. Its design is more modest than other models, sporting a sleek black finish and three buttons that are physical: Auto Cleaning start/pause, Recharge and Spot Cleaning (which cleans the area in a spiral pattern for two minutes). It is also possible to connect the G30 with Amazon Alexa or Google Home to use voice commands to do unscheduled cleaning.

The most important feature that makes the G30 above the rest is the way it cleans. It makes use of a built-in map to create an image of the immovable objects in its path, remembering what it's already cleaned and where it can't access. When it's time to recharge, it automatically returns to its starting point and begins cleaning from where it left off.

The eufy G30 has its flaws, though. The iRobot Roomba is better built and has lower monthly costs. It charges faster, offers similar battery life and performs better on bare flooring or carpet with a low pile. It has a bigger dust bin, which does not require as much emptying. It also has boundaries that prevent it from certain areas. The G30 however is more affordable and a lot more manageable to maintain. Its smaller dust container doesn't require as frequent emptying and it has less trouble with bulky materials such as cereal.
